This is just so easy to edit and install, as long as you feel confident with a few simple edits and uploading a graphics file to your images directory or even your photobucket account, if you don't want to mess about uploading to your server.
UKBL ~ Quality Drop Downs sit quite happily on top of your forums accessable from all pages of the forum
They look like any bog standard Menu Nav bar but when you hover the mouse over it you'll see the dropdowns, I've uploaded a test version to my forum, Take a look for yourselves UK Business Live Forums
I've left the Top White Easy Men Bar in place also so you can compare both of them.
When you go over the menu bar the dropdowns should appear like in the picture below
See how the chosen links are highlighted
So now we come to the installation stage.
Download the dropdown.zip file below and open the VBOrg_Menu.txt file in notepad or any other text editor, as we need to edit a few files.
The first one we need to edit is the url of our Graphic File, So to cut a long story short we'll upload our graphic file to our Photobucket account, or any other account or image directory on your server, So firstly find
and this is the line we need to edit, so that it gives us a nice gradiant blue acdcross the menu bar
Just replace the url within the brackets ( ) and thats it
Then we go and do the menu edits, You don't want your members click on your forum menu and ending up on my site So what we need to do now is change the menu links for yours, It take about 15 min's but its not hard to do, so lets do it.....
First find where our menu starts, This will be right at the bottom of the code, The HTML part of this and the first bit we need to change starts from here...
Basically each tab is made up of a block like what you see above, You have the Main Tab Description which looks like this
and you have all the sub links underneath and they look like this...
and its this one which we need to edit, basically if you want to keep the same link, all you need to do is to chasnge my url UK Business Live Forums to your forums URL, and thats it, your link should work for your site.
If you want to change the link altogether and put your own, then replace the full URL with one that you want and don't forget to edit the end part "Edit Avatar" as that is the title thats shown on the dropdown.
When you've finished all your editing, we need to upload this whole code to your Header Template of the Style that your Currantly using on your forum, So once you've saved your edited code, Just copy and paste directly to your Header, Go right to the end and click paste, save the template and thats it, The Graphic File which you need to upload to your server or image host is also in the zip file.
